Love the Draft picks we received, the cap space and a young, explosive pg in Smith. Not sure what we do with Jordan. We cant let him and Matthews mess up our draft order that we worked so hard for...Again, I'm a fan of the trade.

Hope not- remember we still plan on dumping kanter, we need some players still on the roster, and I think Wes Mathews is a nice vet to have around.

Can someone clarify- was trey Burke in the trade? Nearly all the tweets don’t list him, but one did.

This deal is obviously because they think they can get 2 stars this summer, which I don't really believe. But from a value perspective...this deal is incredibly horrific. Basically an assortment of mediocre pieces for a potential franchise player.

West is deep, no guarantee they will be successful nor is it a guarantee that KP will resemble the guy that had that one good month for us...

With that much competition in the West.....Dallas will have a hard time making the playoffs. Also how does KP get multiple all star starter selections out of this.

Even if KD moves to East this summer, Warriors are still way better than Dallas with KP and Doncic, AND...doesn't this ultimately become KD's team if he signs with us? If another max signs...that lineup plus Knox plus 2019 first round pick...hey we could make some noise...what was our noise potential with KP? Pretty great IF he came back 100%. We need to draft well to even out this trade.

"Durability was a major issue with Porzingis even back to Jackson’s days. Porzingis missed 10 games his rookie year, 16 his second season, 34 last year and the first 50 games of this season. Porzingis admitted himself there’s no documentation of a 7-3 player returning from ACL surgery in the NBA."

It's been reported Porzingis told the Mavs he would only sign the QO, which was probably what he intended to do with the Knicks anyway, which in turn scared the Knicks, who knew already there was trouble in paradise with Janis and Porzingis.

I mean, this only shows Porzingis seems to have a set plan that might not even include the Mavs.

True. He can walk after signing the 1 year QO. If that happens then this deal can be huge for us now and the future

Imagine if after next season he says bye bye Mavs, hello Knicks!

If that happen they would install a rule change the next CBA.

I don't think so. That bridge has been burnt forever.

Burke's gone!

Thanks! Just kanter to vanquish

I wish Kanter would chill, but given everything that is going on his life, his family in Turkey, his issues with the president of Turkey, his own career. Thats a lot to deal with.

Kanter wears his heart on his sleeve, most of the time thats a good thing. Right now Enes would do himself some good if he cut down on the drama. Best chance of getting sent somewhere decent.

I sympathize with Kanter over the Turkey situation and i was a big fan of his since he came here but he has rubbed me the wrong way with his actions recently. I understand he has a lot on his plate but still needs to chill

Agree, needs to take a step back.

In any case, I am consoled by the thought that it is only a matter of time before the diva starts getting upset over being second banana to Doncic, and shows Cuban that at the end he has outsmarted himself.
